The line of best fit


y=900x+39750

Represents the relationship between his annual salary "y" with respect to the years "x"

The y-intercept of the line represents the value of y when x equals zero.

For this example, it represents Jamal's annual salary during his first year.

Following the slope-intercept form:


y=mx+b

The y-intercept is represented by "b", and is the constant of the line.

The correct answer is: b=39750; Jamal expects to earn $36,750 during his first year.
